For some reason the knockdowns and knockout was edited out of sequence and put in later in that otherwise pristine and compleat footage.
Here is the knockout again in the third round as happened.

Amos was about as effective at eluding punches as a wall despite having a bit nimbleness to him. It just was not intelligent nimbleness. And Liston pretty much man handled him in the clinches.

When Liston could squarely hit you, going down was about your only option.
